Guys,
I am building a 2.4 engine for my lightweight canyon carver. I picked up a reworked, ready to final clean and assemble case from "EMS" in L.A. After doing much work including clearancing of the case, I realized that there were no slots for mounting the baffle? "G" knew exactly what I was planning for this case.  Is there some option or will I have to return the case and start over (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) Thanks in advance, Paul VDL |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) Yup, lol. We started having problems in the racer in the early 00s when Hoosier got really good with their DOT tires (whatever the R7s were called back then R3S03?). Rules didn't allow dry sump and you needed the Purple Crack to be competitive so the car got parked until it was turned into a vintage racer in the teens (and it got a dry sump). I've done a couple track days in my street car, 195/50-15 street Firestones, and didn't notice any issues. Honestly, dry-sumping a Type 4 is pretty damned easy and not that expensive. The pump is only $105, and you can get a Canton oil tank for a decent price (or give a nod to the /6 and put a repro tank in the stock location). From there it's just oil lines and fittings... https://www.cbperformance.com/product-p/1745cl.htm |
